Compared with traditional circular heavy bags, these punching bags are created with a muscular human torso and head, with a full scowling and threatening face.

Its major advantage is that the material is very resistant to impact and wear and still offers you a cushioned coating.

The body of the dummy is filled with urethane foam. This is usually used for insulation due to its ability to conceal any air pockets. This will allow a more balanced distribution.

This makes it stay solid when struck, and gives it a skin appearance and feel, and to make it more realistic some parts of the Century fitness bob punching dummy are more sturdy.
